QUOSA® is a software program that enables researchers in the life sciences to retrieve full articles, organize their literature collections, and perform powerful full-text searches. It functions as a reference, full-text and image database, an online search tool, and along with citation management software, serves as a bibliography and manuscript maker. This class provides an introduction to the program. Class participants will learn to build a database by importing references, the full-text of articles in PDF, and images from online sources such as PubMed®. You will also learn the basics of preparing formatted citations and creating bibliographies instantly.
Currently, the following NIH Institutes have institute-wide subscriptions to the QUOSA® software: NCI, NIAID, NEI, NINDS, and NICHD. Institutes with licenses may download QUOSA® from the QUOSA® Downloads site. Researchers already using QUOSA® are encouraged to check the site for updates.
QUOSA® access is available on a limited basis, (i.e., specific labs, offices or branches) at the following institutes: NIMH, NHGRI, NHLBI, NIDDK, NCRR, NIAMS, and NIBIB. Check with your administrative officer or information technology office for information on whether or not your office has access to the QUOSA® package.
